If you have ever thought of embarking on a business venture that incorporates your love and knowledge of your local area, with bringing people together to create fun and unique adventures, then a Tentsile Experience Camp (see the TEC map) might just be for you!
Maybe you are already living the dream, running your own campsite, living off the land or offering eco-travel adventures like guided walking or bike tours, or kayak trips in the wilderness.
Since the pandemic hit last year, you might be considering a change of direction in your lifestyle or career. Perhaps you’d like to elevate your existing campsite or start a new one and share your beautiful location with others. If this sounds like you, read on!
Tentsile Experience Camps are the world’s greenest tree hotels for environmentally conscious travellers. Since the first TEC began in Finland in 2015, visitors have enjoyed once-in-a-lifetime, low-carbon experiences in the most beautiful natural locations and World Heritage Sites around the world. We have also piloted several successful TECs within National Parks in Finland and Italy, that were seeking new sustainable accommodation solutions to help avoid overcrowding in the area – these have been incredibly popular visitor locations so far!
The camps are run by locals with knowledge of the area and provide an authentic cultural experience for all. As Covid-19 changed the world and the travel industry in 2020, it has also demanded a new generation of safe travel, and tree tent camping provides natural social distancing with a fundamental eco-travel mission.
You may want to create a tranquil, digital detox TEC, with an emphasis on turning off technology and reconnecting with nature, or a vibrant campsite that offers a range of additional educational / skill developing / well-being services and activities.
The options are endless and can be tailored to your own expertise and what the natural landscape provides; lake swimming, paddle boarding, rock climbing and yoga, environmental education and foraging are just some possible ideas. You can create your own paradise for others to share and enjoy.
We know that this will be a new challenge for some so we’ll be here to help you get started. The Tentsile Experience Camp Team are available to support with their wealth of experience, resources and advice to share with you.
The range of packages includes set-up support and consultancy, access to our global network, brand partners, our online booking management system, media bank, PR and marketing services, and more.
When you become a TEC, you’ll have the trusted branding and experience of Tentsile behind you, and the eyes of our 250k+ social following directed towards your campsite. We are often asked where someone can try out one of our products for a few nights, and directing them to their local TEC has always been our go-to advice for someone wanting to truly experience tree camping.
We know we have a dedicated following of people around the globe who love the lifestyle we promote and want to be a part of it, so this is an ideal launch pad for any new campsite or service provider wanting to join the TEC community.
As a Tentsile Experience Camp you will join the list of exclusive and extraordinary locations around the globe that host the most unique camping opportunities available. We have members based everywhere from UNESCO World Heritage Sites to jungle escapes, and a number of locations where elevated camping is the only option, making it a unique and fun experience for all guests.
